Good review, I rrreaallyy want to get a water coolign setup, but I get price slapped every time.

Nie review, I have been waiting for a review on that stuff. I thought it was in your rig when you posted your Hi-speed acrylic thread. About 1 month left and I will have H2O in mine.

Nice review, it will definitely be awesome when they start offering this in a variety of different colors. I'm sure theres plenty of people out there that would mix and match'em

Just got some of this and it sure is great and the price has gone down. Bought it for $1.81 a foot. Here is pic to show flexability.

What happens when you put differnet color water in the system. I'm running water wetter and red uv right now, so my water is running red / pink. Will it show green outline w/ red inside? Or will the tube just be darker green?

I have tried it with blue and green antifreeze with 90% water. and the green blends in perfectly, the blue makes the tubing dark colored green. I don't have red so put some Koolaid as a quick try out fix and it changed the green to a dark green/purpleish color that looked somewhat cool, but hard to explain. The batteries for my camera are charging so pics should be later today.

Since you seem to know quite a lot about cooling and OCing could you please check this out and tell me if im correct and your thoughts, thanks bro. http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread.php?threadid=19578

Umm.. Koolaid? That was just in the tubes right.. you didn't actually put it in an actual water cooling setup did you? Well.. that woudl be pimp to say you are running a Koolaid system. Anyways

I am far from knowledgable on water cooling. I got a setup that works for me, but I don't know the intricate details of what is better then the next. There are other Aqua Pimps out there that have more info then I do, but Iwill look at that thread you provided anyways

Nope I just put red Koolaid in a left over tube to see what it looked like.

Imagine being at a lan party and saying you have Koolaid in your rig....

That woudl be sick if your res was a pitcher shapped like the KoolAid guy. And have like ice cubes floating in it for extra cooling. Then you poor some out to drink when you get thirsty.

Now That would be PIMP!!

EDIT:

Do you think you can post me a pic w/ koolaid in the tubes? Looking at all your post w/ the green tubes makes me want to replace my cheap Lowes tubing.

FizzledFiend · 14-August-04, 04:25 PM

after reading this article I decided to order some of the blue variaty. I must say I am way impressed. I haven't got in system yet, but compared to the stuff i get @ lowes it was way worth the extra price. While the reactiveness is just a tad short of my expectation (most of the time I am disapointed with the uv reaction oif blue) the thickness of the walls and the "FLEXABILITY!" is amazing...I use tygon tubing @ work for fuel lines all the time (too small for my system

) and this stuff feels and bends just like it. why the lowes vynil tubing isn't as flexable is beyong me. I orderd this for an upcoming mod, and I am so very tempted to use it now and not wait! Good stuff will use this from now on.
